I am not asking about motivating the spouse. But your feeling when you at an event or in public as a known fitness professional and people see you with your spouse who is very unfit.
Thankfully my husband is fit but who strays (let me clarify that one! – by overeating, making wrong choices or may not work out as consistently as he should) but heck he’s human and so am I!
I dont know how, as a trainer, any of us would have a partner that was out of shape!!
